More videos are coming and giving an idea of what is going on in the city of Guayaquil.

Medical infrastructure has been overwhelmed. Relatives brought this man to the hospital and they won’t accept him.

Cops dumping bodies in cardboard boxes in a neighborhood. People are not happy.

The man was on his way about to be taken to the hospital when he collapsed and became non-responsive.

Vultures over a hospital.

This gentleman made it inside a hospital and collapsed.

I call this farting in a hurricane.

Cars, trucks and SUVs waiting in line loaded with coffins trying to get inside the local cemetery.

Photos:

Body left on a bench in the middle of the street. A kind soul used a parasol to protect the body somewhat.

Cardboard coffins

And if you are not depressed enough, this gentleman did a video that went viral. He blamed the government and the President of Ecuador for the collapse they are in. He was arrested on charges of Hate Speech.

Brother Jim K. gave me a shout about this via Matt Bracken’s Facebook account. Ecuador and specially the city of Guayaquil is basically coming apart at the seams.  As of today they only reported officially 191 deaths for the whole country.

No fucking way is so few.

Warning: the flames ain’t BBQ.

And a copy in case that tweet disappears

Back to that Miami Herald article on the Barbados Ventilators.

Apr 6, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 2 comments

I wanted to split what I found in the hit piece because I think it is important to show the level of hypocrisy from the Media and some people and entities.

In that same article you have the following paragraph:

The German newspaper Der Tagesspiegel reported Friday that a delivery of protective equipment ordered by the State of Berlin in China for the coronavirus had reportedly been intercepted and diverted to the United States. Berlin’s Interior Minister Andreas GeiseI said they considered the confiscation to be “an act of modern piracy” and urged Germany’s government to demand that Washington play by international trade rules.

Piracy? Confiscation? Where did that happen? Were Special Forces involved? Marines? The Mafia?

Another manufacturer, also from Shenzhen, seemed much more serious. He signed a contract with the Hamburgers, had the advance payment transferred and then began producing 500,000 masks as agreed. When Schacht sent a truck this Monday, as agreed, to invite the masks and take them to the nearest airport, his employee found just 100,000 pieces. In the meantime, the manufacturer explained, Americans had offered twice the price for shafts already made masks. He preferred to give the goods to them. “Contracts are broken, delivery dates are ignored,” says Schacht. “What is happening there is criminal.” (Original in German, bold are mine)

Diese Hamburger Unternehmer wollen Millionen Masken aus China holen

Oh my fucking Lord. We offered more money! How dare we? This is just like in the era of true Pirates of the Caribbean where Blackbeard and others would go to towns and offered them more gold pieces that the Spaniards from their goods and services!

The German hit piece continues:

The scenes that are now taking place in front of and in the factories are adventurous. The areas are guarded by armed personnel, suppliers are no longer allowed on the farm without a security check. In front of the entrances are potential customers, entrepreneurs from the USA, Italy,Canada, Uk. Some have suitcases full of money with them. “I know it sounds absurd,” Schacht says. “But money cases are now the norm there.”
Customers try to outbid each other. Bribes are also flowing. The Americans, in particular, were racist. “The climate is more aggressive than anything I’ve ever experienced in my professional life.”

Now suddenly it was not just the US bidding hard cash for the masks, but also the Canadians, the Brits and the Italians. But of course, the Boogie Man for the Left is the evil U.S. of A which is enough excuse to throw the accusation of racism without any backing whatsoever. If the guy with a suitcase is a gringo, he is racist by default, right? That sounds bigoted to me.

But the cherry on top of this political hit piece pie?

Before the start of the crisis, local manufacturers produced the FFP2 masks for 40 cents apiece, with no delivery costs. When the Hamburgers stepped in two weeks ago and made their first deal, they were already paying significantly more, but from today’s point of view it was still a bargain.

…

The masks that arrived in Frankfurt on Wednesday evening are now on their way to Hamburg. Most of it goes to a clinic, a smaller one to a retirement home, and doctors are also supplied. Of the masks to be followed by the next machine, 400,000 go to a Dax company, which needs them for its field staff.

What? You did get the masks after all? They were not confiscated in a piracy act by the U.S Military invading your bonded warehouse in China? So what is that you call US Piracy? That the Chinese actually charged you more that you wanted to pay for?

If being outbid of a good you want is now called piracy, we need to shut down EBay as soon as possible. How many millions acts of “piracy” occur in that evil website every day?  We cannot allow that to happen ever again!

For fuck’s sake people, it is commerce, not a raffle.

Dear Media: You can’t have it both ways.

Apr 6, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 4 comments

Barbados is the latest country to accuse the United States of blocking it from acquiring critical medical equipment to fight COVID19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus.

In a national briefing Sunday, Health Minister Lt. Col Jeffrey Bostic said that 20 ventilators purchased by a philanthropist had been seized in the U.S.

“Those ventilators were actually stopped in the United States, the exportation of those 20 ventilators,” Bostic said.

Barbados accuses U.S. of blocking ventilators to help with the coronavirus pandemic

Huh? Blocked how?

In a national briefing Sunday, Health Minister Lt. Col Jeffrey Bostic said that 20 ventilators purchased by a philanthropist had been seized in the U.S.
“Those ventilators were actually stopped in the United States, the exportation of those 20 ventilators,” Bostic said.

They are U.S. Made Ventilators? How dare the US Government stop life-saving equipment to leave the country! It is like the Government is saying “America First!”  Please tell us more!

The Miami Herald emailed, called and texted Bostic for further details on the shipment, including whether he had reached out to the State Department or the U.S. Embassy in Barbados about his concerns. He did not respond.

Damn you Health Minister! We need to prop a good Trump-Bashing story telling people he is killing black island people and you do not give us a few lines so we can accuse him of being racist?

Media’s Trump Catch-22: Damned if he does not do it and damned if he does.

Just a little bit on bullet trains

Apr 5, 2020 J. Kb 12 comments

Given recent comments in some posts, I thought I would address a certain topic: high-speed rail.

Some people often criticize America for not having high-speed rail like other advanced nations.

They claim that we are too uneducated, corrupt, stupid, poorly governed, or just too much of a shithole to have a beautifully clean and efficient rail system like Japan.

The real reason America does not and will not have high-speed rail in my lifetime is because of a document that starts with these words: We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union…

For a Japanese bullet train to operate efficiently and comfortably at 200 mph, it accelerated and decelerates slowly and has to travel at high speed for an extended distance in a fairly straight line on very even track.

If you look at a map of Japan’s high-speed rail line with only a couple of exceptions near major population hubs like Tokyo and Kyoto, it only connects cities that are far apart.

It’s not that America can’t do this from a technical standpoint, it’s that when Japan wants to bulldoze a swath of land on which to pour a concrete slab and lay track, right through your home or farmland, they can.  Fuck you.

In the US, if some quasi-public corporation like Amtrack wanted to run a high-speed rail from DC to NYC with no stops in between, or maybe one stop in Philadelphia, in order to keep the train moving efficiently, and needed to bulldoze a swath and pour concrete and lay track through your property to do so, they can’t.  They either have to buy your land or use eminent domain to force you to sell it.

The fact is, our nation respects individual and property rights too much to make a high-speed rail feasible.

Personally, I’d rather it be this way than not.

Any government powerful enough to run a high-speed rail through your land against your will is powerful enough to put you in a cattle car for not wanting a high-speed rail run through your land.

This is why Leftists love rail so much, in the backs of their minds they always have a group of people they would like to force onto cattle cars to make the system run more efficiently.

Otis McDonald, 1933-2014: Fought Chicago’s gun ban

Apr 5, 2020 Miguel.GFZ 1 comment

Otis McDonald forever will be known as the man who brought down Chicago’s gun ban.

After a long illness, he died Friday, April 4, at the age of 80.

The landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that bears his name forced Chicago to fall in line with the rest of the country and allow citizens to keep firearms in their homes for self-defense. The justices’ 5-4 decision in 2010 said the Second Amendment did indeed apply to the states, effectively ending the city’s nearly three-decade handgun ban.

Those in the pro-gun movement called Mr. McDonald a hero. But regardless of where people stood in the tense battle over gun rights, many would say he was courageous.
